Description/Abstract
Sigmoid functions, whose graphs are "S-shaped" curves, appear in a great variety of contexts, such as the transfer functions in many neural networks. Their ubiquity is no accident; these curves are the among the simplest non-linear curves, striking a graceful balance between linear and non-linear behavior.
